COLLEGE

The conection with college programs is paramount to the success of both the youth and senior players of the New England Mutiny. A mutually beneficial partnership exists between the Mutiny and nearly 100 collegiate institutions. Over the years, the top collegiate coaches have entrusted their players to the Mutiny in the aims of having them return fit and at a higher skill level. In return, Mutiny youth academy players are provided a pipeline to the network of colleges and universities in which relationships have been cultivated.
